Hatchet 2 is the brutally gory sequel to the 2006 original. AMC Theaters banned this movie for life due to it being too explicit.
Director Adam Green grew up during the 1980s … the golden age of slasher flicks. It was a time where nearly every weekend saw the opening of a new slasher sequel at the local multiplex. Classic movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street all spawned numerous sequels with each trying to "out-gore" each other and their own previous installments. With the exception of the originals, each movie focused less on story and plot and more on mere body counts.
2006's Hatchet was Green's love letter to those bygone days. It was bloody, gruesome and hilarious with only the slimmest of plots. And it was a hit.
Hatchet 2, freshly banned from all AMC Theaters, is actually better than the original. In fact, we can call Hatchet II the best sequel to a slasher film ever made. The reason being that this isn't just a sequel slapped together as part of an ongoing money-grab. This movie was planned and written at the very beginning. As a result it not only continues the story but also fills in missing pieces from the first film in a way that is smart and logical.
The movie starts just second after the last one ended. Marybeth (now played by Danielle Harris, who replaces Hatchet's Tamara Feldman) is the lone survivor of the massacre at Honey Island Swamp. Dazed and exhausted after surviving the murderous rampage of Victor Crowley (played by hulking Kane Hodder), her terror turns to infuriation at the thought of her father and brother being torn apart by Victor. She decides she needs to get help and come back to the swamp to recover her relative's chopped up remains and destroy Victor.

A broken-eye hillbilly comes across Marybeth and helps her out of the swamp. But soon he his killed by his own intestines and Marybeth is left by herself to enact her revenge. She makes her way to that shadowy character from the first movie … Reverend Zombie (played by Tony Todd). Even though he helped get all those people killed, he is the only one that knows Victor well enough to know how to kill him.
After a campfire meeting where the Reverend tells Marybeth about the true beginnings of Victor Crowley (fits the story perfectly), he recruits several tough-ass hunters and then everybody heads back to the swamp for the showdown.
What follows is an hour of the most imaginative, explicit, mind-blowing murder scenes ever seen in a slasher film. I cringed as certain parts of the male anatomy where hacked and ripped off their host. I know a little bit about how these movies are made, but I have no idea how the director filmed some of these scenes. And in the movie theater where I saw this (before the AMC ban) I heard real, audible sounds of horror from the audience. Never have I experienced anything like this (do NOT leave this movie early … that last 2 kills are already legendary).
Yet another reason why this movie works is because the cast is so good. Danielle Harris as the heroine Marybeth is perfect in her depiction of terror and anger. She is scared out of her mind but is still able to muster strength to fight. Of course she's had a lot of practice from acting in all of those Halloween movies.
Several cast members you will recognize from other horror films. Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood), R.A. Mihailoff (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3), AJ Bowen (The Signal), Tony Todd (Candyman) and legendary Fright Night director Tom Holland.
Let's hope that a 3rd movie was planned for this series.

Should racism be classified as a type of mental retardation?
Because it is crazy to base an opinion someone's skin color, thats all!
But with that being said, I reserve the right to judge, discriminate, and make fun of fat people. They deserve a modern day lynching; such as a public tar and feathering. I'd love to see a 500lb screaming mad woman covered in tar & feathers rampaging downtown like the Incredible Hulk.
Does anyone else agree that these racists on this forum should focus their attention towards overweight people instead?
that was horrible!!!

Rob Hedden's Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is IMO the most underrated sequel in the Friday the 13th franchise (with a ridiculous 3.9 average rating on IMDB). For Part 8, the producers and director Rob Hedden decided to relocate everyone's favorite hockey-masked serial killer to the slums and alleys of New York. Of course, Jason doesn't actually get to New York until around the film's 60-minute mark and spends the first hour of the film terrorizing a cruise ship full of teenagers on their way to the Big Apple to celebrate their high school graduation, and this is perhaps the biggest issue that most people have with this film. They feel the title is misleading and that the movie more resembles a cross between a Jason film and an episode of The Love Boat. Well, everyone's entitled to their own opinions of course, but I consider this one of the creepiest and most stylishly directed entries in the series, with Kane Hodder doing his hulking best as Jason.
Another thing I really like about Part 8 is its clever stabs at black comedy, which are mostly subtle and genuinely effective without being overdone like some of the humorous bits in Part 6. Gorehounds will probably be disappointed, however, since Part 8 (like Part 7) was heavily censored of most of its ultra-gory content by the MPAA. I don't think the over-editing hurts the film nearly as much as it did Part 7, though, since 8 has a sense of style all its own and brings a refreshing (and creepy) change of scenery. Much the way Michael Myers was ultra-creepy wondering the corridors of a nearly empty hospital in Halloween II, the water-logged Jason Voorhees seems right at home stalking a moonlit cruise ship. The ship has an other-worldly atmosphere all its own, so I don't really mind that it takes so long for the film to reach its Manhattan destination.
Jason Takes Manhattan is also usually criticized for its use of a so-called "teleporting" Jason who seems to be everywhere at once, but to me it's more a symbolic way of making Jason seem truly inescapable. People take it too literally, along with the flashback/dream sequences. Jason doesn't literally turn into a little drowned boy at the end in the sewer -- it's just a part of Rennie's imagination. I won't say that this film isn't riddled with plot holes, but so is every other film in the series.
Moving on to the plot (always the weakest link of any Friday the 13th film), Jason is resurrected from
his watery grave at the bottom of Camp Crystal Lake by a bolt of electricity and proceeds to murder an amorous young couple on a small houseboat in what is one of the most unnerving murder scenes in the film. While Suzi and Jim are making love, Jason sneaks up on the couple with a loaded harpoon, startles them from their erotic bliss and shoots the pointed projectile across the room into the wall only inches from Suzi's horrified face. She escapes quickly through the window out onto the deck while Jason plunges the base of the weapon into Jim's gut.
We soon discover that Suzi (in a not-too-smart move) has hidden in the storage space on the front deck rather than jump off the boat and try to swim to safety at the very-near lake shore. Needless to say, Jason quickly discovers her hiding place and pulls open the door to the tiny storage area, and Suzi finds herself trapped with no possibility of escape in an undeniably suspenseful murder scene, with Suzi thrashing and screaming her lungs raw as Jason slowly lowers the harpoon spear he's pulled out of the cabin wall into the space towards her and thrusts it into her chest. After his deadly duty is done and Suzi is fully impaled and lifeless, Jason callously slams the door closed over her corpse, marking the beginning of another full-scale murderous rampage that includes a total of 17 on-screen victims.
The morning after killing Suzi and Jim, Jason surreptitiously boards a cruise ship full of high school graduates en route to the Big Apple, which includes Rennie (Jensen Daggett), a lovely young writer whom Jason has psychic ties to. Also aboard is her stuffy Uncle Charles (Peter Mark Richman in an excellent performance) who is a biology teacher and is serving as a trip chaperone; her sympathetic English teacher Ms. Van Deusen (Barbara Bingham); and her handsome boyfriend Sean (Scott Reeves) whose father is captain admiral of the ship. There's also guitar-toting heavy rocker JJ (Saffron Henderson) who Jason smashes in the head with her own instrument; resident sexy blonde bitch Tamara (Sharlene Martin) who Jason shreds with shards of a broken mirror; and, of course, the absolutely essential creepy deckhand a la Crazy Ralph who warns everyone he sees of the impending carnage.
Friday the 13th Part 8 - Jason Takes Manhattan is my favorite Friday after parts 2, 1 and 4 -- in that order. It has enough imagination IMO to be entertaining without buckets of blood and features the most menacing Jason in Kane Hodder, and I rate it an 8 of 10.
